Date: Sunday 11 October 2020
Event: Round 2 – Ulster Cyclo-Cross Series 2020
Venue: Lurgan Park
Host club: Apollo Cycling Team
Course Description:
Lurgan Park offers cyclists a superb venue for off road riding in pleasant surroundings. The cyclo-cross course is classified as a fast, flowing and challenging track and yet suitable for even novice riders so no excuses for not turning up and enjoying cyclo-cross at its best. With a new course, developed with the help of local riders, we are hoping to offer a balance of open racing, with long straights and technical areas. Riders will line up on the green for a long starting straight. You then enter open switch backs and straights, which should thin the group out, before passing the pits and entering the new technical part of the course. The skills section to the race is centred around the wooded section with roots, tight corners and off camber. You will need to concentrate hard to remain fast. You’ll pass the pits again after hitting the technical area of the course, then onto tarmac before you head around to the start/finish line and start again.
The entrance to the course is situated within the car park of Waves Leisure Complex in Queen St, (just off the main street) Lurgan. Co Armagh. The approach roads will be signed on the morning of the event. Use the car park to your right when entering the main gates.
Pits and bike wash: A double pit is situated in the centre of the park. See map below. Spares should be left in the pits during practice and between races. NO SPECTATORS OR PETS IN PITS. NO UNDER 10s. MAX 2 PIT CREW. A bike wash area is adjacent to the pits – all bikes MUST be washed here NOT the pits. No water will be provided in the wash area – pit crew should bring their own. Pit crew must wear face masks. For contact tracing, all pit crew must also be registered on the event registration link (free of charge).
